21st Century Classrooms: Exploring Perspectives, Negotiating Computer-Mediated Landscapes, and Integrating Technology Across the Curriculum

Click Here to Enter

This Live Binder is a collaborative effort by Maria Bonet, MLS, Dr. Prisca Rodriguez, and Dr. Patricia Lopez. We thought about how current educational policies that emphasize technology use continue to influence educational practices. We were especially interested in these influences within second and foreign language learning across K-12 classrooms. We wrote and presented a paper titled 21st Century Classrooms: Exploring Perspectives, Negotiating Computer-Mediated Landscapes, and Integrating Technology Across the Curriculum, hoping to illuminate current conversations concerning technology integration in education, explore benefits and challenges of technology use for foreign language learning, and share recommendations for technology integration.

This Live Binder is the online piece where we share what we hope are useful resources to teachers. We continue to look for resources that are free, fairly easy to learn and use, and present many possibilities for classroom application. If you would like us to include resources you did not find here, or if you have any questions or feedback, please contact us.
